Connaught workers at the TUC

Congress has just unanimously agreed an Emergency Motion responding to the collapse of Connaught.

Workers, some of them sacked by text message or conference call, have in many cases been left in limbo while clients and contractors try to pick up the pieces.

Congress has instructed the General Council to offer support to Connaught workers, engage with the Government to secure their long-term employment and campaign in opposition to privatisation and to bring services back in house.
